Key Features

• Core & Architecture Eight ARM® Cortex®‑A72 64‑bit cores arranged in four clusters, each cluster sharing a 1 MB L2 cache; CPU frequency up to 2.1 GHz for multicore compute.
• Platform Cache & Interconnect 1 MB platform cache with ECC protection and a hierarchical interconnect fabric to support coherent, deterministic data flow across cores and accelerators.
• Memory Subsystem Two 64‑bit DDR4 SDRAM memory controllers with ECC and interleaving support for high bandwidth and data integrity (DDR4 operation up to platform rates specified in datasheet).
• Datapath Acceleration (DPAA2) Integrated DPAA2 features including wire‑rate I/O processing, queue and buffer management, cryptography acceleration (SEC 5.2), RegEx pattern matching (PME 2.0), and compression/decompression (DCE 1.0) to offload packet‑processing workloads.
• High‑Speed Connectivity Up to eight 10 GbE MACs and up to sixteen 1/2.5 GbE MACs, plus 16 SerDes lanes (up to 10.3125 GHz) to support dense, high‑throughput network interfaces.
• PCIe & Peripheral Interfaces Four PCIe Gen3 controllers (scalable widths and SR‑IOV support on PCIe3), two SATA 3.0 controllers, and two USB 3.0 controllers with integrated PHY for flexible system expansion and storage connectivity.
• Security & Boot Secure Boot and ARM TrustZone® support provide platform‑level security features for secure provisioning and runtime isolation.
• Package & Thermal 1292‑ball FCPBGA package (37.5 × 37.5 mm) with surface‑mount mounting; operating temperature range 0 °C to 105 °C.
• Compliance RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Network Appliances — High‑density routing, switching and security appliances leveraging multiple 10 GbE and 2.5 GbE interfaces and DPAA2 offloads for packet processing.
• Telecommunications Infrastructure — Edge and aggregation platforms that require multi‑core processing, hardware acceleration for crypto and pattern matching, and flexible PCIe and storage connectivity.
• Enterprise Gateways & VPNs — Secure gateway and VPN appliances using Secure Boot and TrustZone for trusted bootflows and isolated security domains.
• Storage & NAS Systems — Systems requiring SATA and high‑speed peripheral connectivity alongside robust memory bandwidth and ECC protection.

Unique Advantages

• High multicore throughput: Eight Cortex‑A72 cores at up to 2.1 GHz deliver parallel compute capacity for concurrent control‑plane and data‑plane tasks.
